Hi Dizz_zzey,

How are your treatments going?

I hate it that you are already having stinging on your skin. Did you ever get your cream? Scott still hasn't used anything or mentioned any burning on his skin. He just finished treatment #11 and has began having soreness when he swallows.

I believe he still has most of the same issues you mentioned from the surgery. I did buy him some Xylitol tabs to help with the dry mouth and I try to keep some of the baking soda/salt water solution mixed up for him to rinse with.

At this point I think it may be good that he is just relying on his feeding tube and formula. Aside from reminding him about his swallowing exercises and mixing up nutribullets, I have been just leaving him to it.

As for the nutribullets, if you have, or can get one, I have been using foods in it that are anti-inflammatory and "cancer fighting" foods. I don't know if they actually help much but I figure they wont hurt, if nothing else, at least he is getting those extra vitamins and nutrients.

If you want to try it, some of the foods I blend are spinach, kale, strawberries, blueberries, grapes, pineapple, sometimes I throw in some grape juice, otherwise I just add water. There were a lot of other suggestions in my books but those are the ones that have been working best so far.

You probably should have just hit that guy with your cane and went on about your business. haha. Just kidding. It is annoying having to go out in the real world and deal with people when there is already so much going on in your own personal life.

I hope that you are doing well and working on your recipe book. I really hope you get that gin and tonic for your birthday!

As always, Best wishes!!
